Cole Cubelic’s SEC takeaways are a social media staple.
Over the past few seasons, Cubelic has taken to social media every Sunday to share his thoughts on every active conference team. This year, many fans may not be seeing those takeaways until Monday, as the SEC Network analyst’s thoughts are arriving close to midnight Eastern.
Week 3 featured another Saturday with 14 SEC teams in action. Here’s what Cubelic had to say:
ARKANSAS: Tough one to drop. KJ was accurate. WRs can catch but just don’t separate well. 2 was nice. Spy worked vs KJ. TEs did not block well. OL maybe a tad late coming off combos. Felt like there should have been yards on misdirection. 40 & 7 showed up on def! 3rd downs were a…

FLORIDA: Dominated the trenches. Master plan on off. Just a tad East/west then went at teeth. Took adv of an aggressive front & busted some big ones. Screen game strong but OL effort can be better there. QB solid, recievers helped. 7 phenomenal. Patience & quickness big! 99 on…

KENTUCKY: Handled their business. Leary sharp. So much poise in the pocket. Davis big time! OL coming around. They are playing hard. RG had a few nice blocks. TEs got going in multiple ways. Have to cut TOS, couple high risk throws. Can be repaired. Def great on 3rd. 32 is on his…

MISSOURI: Huge win. Really good team they knocked off. QB runs were effective & opened things up. Good use of motion on off. Got matchups, helped with run game. QB hit some nice deep balls. Great in 2:00 late! Toughed out a rolled ankle also. Run game not great but 3 shined! 87…

OLE MISS: Very nice win. Huge game from QB. Told me plan going in was not that many carries. OL a smidge better. Still need to pick it up. Too much run through in run game. But did that w/o best WR, best TE, starting a fr WR & another potentially big time WR out. Will get…

TENNESSEE: OL had a rough day. Could not run the ball vs lighter boxes. Specifically inside. Quick game didn’t provide many explosives. Need more YAC. Missed a few shots but had a few coin flips. QB will get too much heat for this one. Defense super aggressive. Moved a ton. Maybe…

VANDERBILT: Ball Security!! Just critical, bad snaps, picks & fumbles at crucial times. QB did some nice things & made a few great throws. Pick over middle into man was that decision we have mentioned. Just not there. 14 massive! Not great up front. Missed pressures. Fumble on…
